After a big storm, Wonder Woman realizes that she must go back to
Themyscira and see her mother to explain why she's been gone for half a
year. When she arrives, she finds all of her Amazon sisters "frozen" in
stone. After some searching, she finds Felix Faust, a magician of sorts,
behind it. With her sisters--and mothers--lives on the line, Wonder
Woman agrees to help Faust in his search for pieces of a key that will
release Hades from his fiery entrapment.

This was a really good episode, with lots of emotion, action and of
course, some really really good fight scenes. If the description above
isn't enough of a tip-off, this is mainly a "girl power" episode--which,
I didn't mind one bit... cause heck, it even grabbed itself a WIN award
(Women's Image Network), which just goes to show you how powerful this
episode really is. With all the emotion they packed into this ep, along
with the heroic-ness of Wonder Woman, it's easy to see why many like
this episode.

The dialogue was good, but I still can't get passed the "Hera help us",
"Here help her", "Here help him" lines that spout from Wonder Woman.
Granted, it's true to the character, but they still sound odd. However,
Susan Eisenberg did a killer job on Wonder Woman in this episode that'll
end anyone's doubts about her voice talents to rest. The rest of the
League all had fairly good lines, and of course, Flash with his
wise-cracks bring this episodes voices bar to a respectable four stars.

As with most episodes, the animation was good. It flows well, and there
are very few jumpy parts at all--if any, however there was the one
sequence that bothered me--the rehashing of Flash's close-up from the
"Speed Demons" episode in STAS. You can tell it's the exact same batch
of animation by either quickly pausing the video, or by watching real
closely; but why they couldn't just add a new bit or just leave it out
all-together is beyond me.

One the best parts though, was the battle with Hade's legion of the
undead. Seeing the whole League work together to "kill" the skeletons
was a really cool thing to see, whether it was J'onn's phasing or
Batman's endless supply of exploding bat-a-rangs, it was a very very
cool sight to behold.

In the end, this was still a thoroughly enjoyable episode, despite the
minor things mentioned above (After all, they accounted for less than 20
seconds of the total episode combined). From Faust's disintegration, to
Diana pulling Hippolyta from Hade's grip, it was just a thoroughly
enjoyable episode which I'd gladly watch again.
